Inclusive Ministries

We stand in faith-based opposition to the institutionalized homophobia braided into the fabric of the United Methodist Church.

We work to advance justice for, and the radical inclusion and full participation of, all LGBTQ+ people in the UMC and beyond.

Reconciling Ministries Network
The initiative to grow as a Reconciling Congregation belongs to the entire congregation, and is lead by the Heart for Others team. The team is the outgrowth of discernment effort, with a charge from the Church Council to focus on providing further education and understanding of LGBTQIA+ issues across the congregation, increasing our mission and outreach to the greater LGBTQIA+ community, and working diligently to support replacement of harmful language in the United Methodist Book of Discipline with affirming language to support all of our siblings in Christ.

We marched with PFLAG in the Renton River days parade, coordinated educational events within the congregation such as a pronoun forum discussion, supported a community-youth-lead Fairwood Pride March, and have supported transgender day of remembrance services in our own church and also in the community, just to name a few. We partner with Seattle PFLAG, Lambert House, Renton Pride, and YouthCare.
